Ehhhh not if it is not activated and cannnot access the phone, besides that if it is the wrong carrier for the SIM, it won't show anything in settings.

Google on bypass activation 5.01
You can temp bypass it and than jailbreak with redsn0w or absinthe on 5.0.1. But you can only upgrade to 6.1.3.
If the original network is not what you use than you can only unlock through the carrier or an online IMEI unlock from the grey market.
